The ESL Pro League Season 19 marks the return of the biggest Counter-Strike league in Saint Julian’s, Malta, gathering the world’s most elite teams for a bid to be crowned champions.
This season, 32 teams compete over three weeks to win in the race to secure the Intel Grand Slam V and a spot at IEM Cologne 2024.
ESL Pro League Season 19 format
Teams are divided into four groups, each consisting of eight teams.
These teams battle it out in triple-elimination brackets where all matches are best-of-three. The top four teams from each group then move forward to the Playoffs.
Concurrently, the winners of each group secure their spots in the Quarterfinals, while the runners-up progress to the Round of 12.
Teams who place third and fourth enter the competition in the Round of 16.
The Playoffs, scheduled from May 7 to 12, then shift to a single-elimination bracket involving the top 16 teams.
Like the prior stages, matches are still best-of-three, except for the Grand Final, which is a best-of-five match to decide the champion.
All matches starting from the third and fourth Quarterfinals unfold live on stage.
ESL Pro League Season 19 schedule and results
The Group Stage runs from April 23 to May 5.
